We are pleased to announce that the new puppies have arrived!
This was a very long and tiresome whelp for our Dam and for us.
1:00am August 6th 2008
Malfoy began her panting, shaking and nesting. (Stage One)
5:00am August 6th 2008
Malfoy decided that there was to be no sleeping and that we were to stay with her at all times. The panting, shaking and nesting continued throughout the morning.
10:00am August 6th 2008
After nine hours of panting and no signs of pushing we decided to have our vet take a look. No problems were found and everything was good to go, just moving very slowly. More panting, nesting and shaking. We continued to take Malfoy out to the washroom every two hours so she could clean out her bowls and bladder.
1:00pm August 6th 2008
Tried to sneak in a nap to catch a bit of sleep however, Malfoy would not allow it; she wanted us awake and with her at all times.
5:00pm August 6th 2008
Vet called to check up and see how things were going and to let us know she would be heading home for the day should we need her.
6:05pm August 6th 2008
First large fluid discharge (water break). Much heavier panting and nesting now, shaking as well.
7:00pm August 6th 2008
Pushing begins! (Stage Two) Good contractions every few minutes.
8:00pm August 6th 2008
Half of the sack appears but doesn’t look quite right… Rather than a head we are presented with two rear feet. Grasping the two feet gently between fingers we smoothly but firmly guide the pup out.
First puppy is born! Female fawn boxer, white flashy paws, white on chest, small white marking on the back of the neck, dark mask around eyes, white up the face and a pretty pink nose.
The sack is broken, face is cleaned with a dry fluffy towel to remove fluid from the nose and mouth and the cord is then cut. Malfoy then cleans up the new born and allows feeding.
Panting picks up again and we wait.
10:00pm August 6th 2008
Sack appears and is quickly pushed out. Sack is broken, airways cleared and cord is cut. Second pup is born! Male fawn boxer puppy. White paws, white up the face, white chest and white marking on the back of the neck. Very smooth delivery.
Malfoy continues to let the first born feed while she cleans up #2. Once he has been cleaned she guides him to feed with his sister.
By this point our Dam is getting very tired, it has been 21 hours labor so far. She only pushes now on very large contractions and is trying to save strength. She is still happy and content, no signs of distress or abnormal discomfort.
1:00am August 7th 2008
Now 24 hours since labor began the third puppy is born! Male charcoal brindle boxer, white paw tips, small white markings on tummy and a small white marking on nose. Delivery was long but very smooth. Airways cleaned and cord cut. Malfoy cleans up this pup and then guides him to feed with the others.
Malfoy now decides that she will rest her head for a few minutes between contractions.
4:00am August 7th 2008
At last the final puppy arrives! Female fawn boxer, white around her collar, tall white socks on the front paws and short white socks on the rear paws, white markings up the face and on the tummy, and a pretty pink nose. Her airways are cleaned and cord is cut. Pup is quickly cleaned up and placed with her kin.
Malfoy is then checked and cleaned up. Pups are placed in a basket while the whelping box is cleaned and fresh blankets are laid out. Malfoy and pups are then placed back in the fresh whelping box and all soon fall fast asleep.
5:00am August 7th 2008
The house is quiet, mother and puppies are all resting. All is well with the new litter.
9:00am August 7th 2008
Vet calls to see how thing went through the night. We give her the details and she is pleased to hear that all is well. We book our appointment for Malfoy’s checkup, puppies checkup and vaccinations.
